On a Set of Indicators of Protection of Vulnerable Social Groups

Abstract

Vulnerable social groups refer to groups of people whose political, economic or social status is lower than the majority, putting them at greater risk of being neglected or having their rights and interests violated. Based on statistical data of ministries and sectors, the paper presents the results of reviewing the current sets of statistical indicators related to children, the elderly, women, ethnic minorities, the poor and people with disabilities to assess the set of indicators of protection of vulnerable social groups. This is one of the basic steps to research and build the set of indicators of protection of vulnerable social groups.
